Background- Data Integration vs. Data Exchange

Interoperability Specifications(IOS)

Data Integration(Lifecycle IOS)

Data Exchange(Non Lifecycle IOS)

Data Exchange - Discipline-Specific

Exchange within tightly-coupled tools; within specific development phases.

e.g., Real-Time & Distributed Co-Simulation, Runtime Data Calibration & Measurement, etc.

Data Integration - Cross-Disciplines

Integration across loosely-coupled tools; across development phases.

e.g., Traceability across the whole product development lifecycle

Linked Data principles & standards

Standard Interfaces

“Just Enough” integration

Openly published standards

Incremental


• An approach of publishing structured data, such that

– Data from different sources can be connected " Data gets more meaning

– Data from different sources can be queried" Data becomes more useful

What is Linked Data?

• Builds upon standard Web technologies – HTTP, URIs, RDF family of standards– To describe structured data on the web


Linked Data Example - The Linking Open Data project

What is Linked Data?

Linked Data - Structured Data on the Web; by David Wood, Marsha Zaidman, and Luke Ruth; Fig 1.5

• Links data from open-content projects such as

• encyclopaedias and dictionaries• government statistics• music• research papers • …

" Access to data & its semantics" No longer Data Silos" Discoverability" Data discovered and used in

unpredictable ways


• Linking and exchange of information between EAST-ADL and AUTOSAR models – Without assuming a common tool and/or framework– Requiring the exposure of many fine-grained resources

Provide an OSLC interface for EMF-based modelling tools

– Expose the full vocabulary from any rich modelling language.

– Minimal development effort and/or cost

The Problem

Do we have a contradiction?

OSLC –minimalistic interface

Modelling –Rich vocabulary


A code generator that provides an OSLC interface for EMF-based modelling tools

Resources & services

What can be generated?1. The OSLC interface

1. RDF representations2. RESTful interface

2. The interaction with the data source.

" With all data digitally available, fully-automation is possible


Technology-agnostic interoperability(Differentiate between model technologies and integration technologies)

– Focus on the model data to be integrated– Disregard the technology used to manage

data within each modelling tool.

Will this facilitate the use of MDE across a wider span of the development process?

What Does OSLC Bring to MDE?

• A Dream Use Case– Tight integration of 2+ non-EMF modelling tools

The Future (Work)

NoticeNoticeNoticeNotice This page contains a Project Proposal. NoticeNoticeNoticeNotice


• The Challenges– Federated data storage – Integration of User interfaces

• Delegated UI interactions– Change event handling – Version & configuration management– Performance & scalability of Linked Data?– Handling the rich semantics of a modelling

language.• Capability to configure and limit the hierarchy of

artefacts being exposed.– ...
